The band has just announced their return to the UK later this year for another headline run, following their biggest shows yet last year, including a sold-out Wembley show. The tour will kick off at Glasgow’s OVO Hydro on 1st November through to Cardiff’s Utilita Arena on 9th November, with a stop at London’s The O2 along the way. Tickets go on sale at 10 AM – Friday, 13th February 2026 and will available to purchase HERE.
Last year’s UK dates garnered fantastic reviews across the board:
“…with this kind of longevity, our suspicion about them being armageddon-proof doesn’t seem quite so daft after all. Long live Papa Roach!” – Kerrang
“Papa Roach - still so undeniable all these years later. Still learning, still living, still loving and still looking for that next thing to conquer, it is an attitude that we can all take something from – utterly unmissable” Rock Sound.
“Few bands could have so effortlessly handled Wembley as this.” Louder
“..they have evolved far beyond that (nu-metal) niche genre to become a big arena band with an armoury of belting tunes” Daily Star
Always philanthropic, the band presented the ampaign Against Living Miserably with a £20,000 cheque at their sold-out headline show at Wembley Arena from funds raised during their short UK tour and will be supporting the charity again in November, with a £1 donation per ticket. Their Irish show will support the national charity Pieta.
Papa Roach said: “To say that we were humbled by the response to the first leg of the ‘Rise Of The Roach’ UK tour would be an understatement. All of us are excited to return to the UK and Ireland to play more cities with a few surprises in store for fans”
